    Ultimately the problem is an over saturated market and universities letting their programs grow too large.

      No, the problem is greedy corporations.

      There is an active need for many developers, think of every time you’ve used terrible software, every time a program crashed or you found yourself manually doing something and thought “there should be a tool for this”, every bad search and broken social media site.

      Hell, we’re supposed to be in the middle of an “AI boom” and someone has to actually implement all those pie in the sky “automate away everyone’s jobs”. While AI can, debatably, write the code for that, it still takes a person to design, architect, implement, test and validate those systems.

      No. The entire technical foundation on which “computer science” is built is crumbling due to lack of maintenance and funding and desperately needs people to fix it, however corporations are doing their what they do best; devaluing, destroying, and parasitizing their surroundings.

        Just like AI can write code, it can also design, architect, implement and test…badly

        No manager cares about validation. Today’s mindset seems to be “ship now, fix later”
